"Harvesters Resting" (also known as "Ruth and Boaz") is a renowned painting by French artist Jean-François Millet, completed in 1853. This work is a prime example of the Realist movement, to which Millet contributed significantly throughout his career. The painting is housed in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and is celebrated for its depiction of rural life and the dignity Millet imparts to peasant figures.

The painting measures 76.2 x 101.6 cm (30 x 40 in) and is executed in oil on canvas. It portrays a group of weary harvesters taking a break from their labor in the fields, a common theme in Millet's oeuvre that reflects his interest in the lives of the working poor. The composition is anchored by the figures of Ruth and Boaz, characters from the biblical Book of Ruth, who are depicted in a moment of rest and potential romantic connection amidst the broader context of agricultural toil.

Millet's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the physicality and emotional states of the figures, imbues the scene with a sense of realism and empathy. The artist's focus on the nobility of peasant life and labor was both a reflection of his own rural upbringing and a commentary on the social issues of his time, including the changing landscape of rural France during the Industrial Revolution.

"Harvesters Resting" is notable for its blend of biblical narrative with contemporary social realism. By placing Ruth and Boaz within a modern setting, Millet creates a timeless connection between the past and present, emphasizing the enduring nature of human labor and the agrarian cycle. This painting remains a significant work in Millet's catalog and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical relevance.
